Yes, that is called a neutralization reaction.
Boron does not react with water or oxygen but when Boron burns it creates boron trioxide and when Boron burns in air when heated it creates a mixture of Boron trioxide and Boron Nitrate. Boron does not react with Acids or Alkalis and will only react if it is in a highly divided state. Also Boron is oxidised by Nitric Acid to produce Boric Acid and finally Boron reacts with fused Sodium Hydroxide to form Sodium, Borate and Hydrogen. Boron is also used in the bearings of wind turbines and in the nuclear industry for a moderator for neutrons.
No, not always (opinion). So check on the internate
An acid has a pH level below 7, whilst an alkali has a pH level above 7. Acids contain H+ ions and alkalis consist of OH- ions. Acids turn litmus paper red, alkalis turn it blue. When acids react with metals they form hydrogen and a salt. Acids a sour to taste. Alakalis react with acids to form salt and water, a reaction called neutralisation. Alkalies feel soapy to touch. All alkalis except ammonia will react with ammonium compounds, driving ammonia out.
Otherwise we would have nothing to neutralise alkalis with, the whole would be alkalis rather than acids and alkalis.

Yes :)
Metalloids react with both acids and alkalis.
Alkalis (bases) react with acids to neutralize them, so in one sense, they can be considered as "opposite" of acids. Bases produce pH values >7 and acids produce pH values <7.
Aluminium is not an acid or a base, but it does react with both acids and alkalis.

Yes, acids neutralize alkalis and inverse.

Copper doesn't react wih alkalis.
households acids and alkalis is formic acid and syitric acid
